How does shopping online with ETH work in 2024?

Years ago there was a lot of talk about how crypto is going to replace banks and become an easy way to pay for stuff online. There was a lot of speculation about how it would eventually become normalized to the point where pretty much every major store accepts it. More and more stores would start adding the option and others follow them seemed to be a very popular prognosis. I know that there is Bitpay and quite a bunch of stores that accept crypto as payment currently but I feel like they're still super rare, especially in Europe. How's your experience with that aspect of crypto so far? Is it underwhealming when it comes for just straight up using the currency to shop, still? Are there some decent stores that did implement it and it worked out for them that you know? submitted by /u/primaloes

The EBA identifies the following as specific risk factors, among others: * Transactions, such as transfers to or from self-hosted addresses, decentralized platforms or transfers involving crypto-asset providers that are not authorized or regulated under the Regulation; * products, ...
